Shuffle does not work

Lucas · 03-02-2005, 08:30 AM

Loaded the itunes music library with mp3s, autofilled, charged, but the shuffle just wont make a sound, nothing whatsoever.

then i tried importing from cd, thinking that the mp3 format i have is not compatible(non-vbr?). I was able to import tracks, manually drag and drop the imported songs to an empty shuffle. Still, nothing.... I was able to play the songs on the shuffle thru itunes though.

The shuffle is supposed to play mp3s right? and the imported songs from cd is supposed to be automatically converted to aac? I remember setting a check box to convert to 128bit aac or something all the files copied to the shuffle.

Please help! I used Win2K service pack 4 btw. No problem in itunes, autofill, shuffle detect... etc. just wont play i think.

Did you charge the shuffle already? or turned on the switch at the back?

Charged it. battery status light is green. slide switch to shuffle/order.
When i connected the shuffle after disconnecting it, the songs are still there.

and pressed the "play" button in front? sorry to be stating the obvious, but sometimes even experienced users forget

did you check if your earphones are working?

Lucas · 03-02-2005, 08:56 AM

the earphones are your standard mini earphone jack right? will check using another source...

i was wondering, the saleslady at megamall apple store told me to call if there's any problem. haven't called yet. did this ever happened to anyone else?
